Weekly Wrap Up | 6/5/22

Aloha friends!

Today I was supposed to be in Philadelphia and attending my husband’s friend’s wedding. I am not there. We are not there because I got covid from my Vegas trip last weekend.

But speaking of Vegas…

We stayed at the Park MGM which was nice because it’s smoke-free, I have enough allergies to deal with already. I felt like such a newb everywhere because so many things are digital and I thought I was pretty up to par on my tech skills. But here is my friend using her apple wallet for everything lol…and I don’t even trust putting my cards on a phone.

The hotel rooms were nice, but I wished it had a mini-fridge because we were drinking so much water. It’s so important to hydrate when traveling. Eataly fronts the hotel which is nice, we got some dessert there. Usually it was so packed though so I never really got a meal there. We ate at a few places near the hotel. We tried to go further than our hotel but it was so hot in the day and honestly we were just tired from walking so much in the hotel itself. Plus, even though I loved the bed and pillows, I could not sleep – maybe because I was in a new place? Or jet lag?

The Silk Sonic concert was amazing! The crowd was grooving to everything and Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak are such hams on stage! They crack me up with being so extra – I used to think Andy’s wig was not it, but it puts him into his Silk Sonic persona and now I love it. They vibe so well together and sing….SING?! They can SING. The harmonies, the dance movies, the remixes to the songs…they are just on another level. I wish the whole world could see it – like make it a tv special like Bruno did for the 24K album at the Apollo Theater? I want to see it again. There was a moment in the concert when they sang Love’s Train and I swear every person in the crowd was grooving – that music just makes you move. The whole stage set was a 70’s vibe, the lights, costumes, just everything was so well put.

I had the best time and I had the mental break I needed. I love my family but wow was it nice not to wash dishes or do laundry and just have fun! Now if only covid would stop hindering my plans so I can do more traveling. Yes on the flight home my nose started to run and my throat started to itch. Got home and tested right away but after 15 minutes the result was negative! Woke up coughing a lot – took another test and that one was totally positive. So my week was sleep, sleep, sleep – texting everyone, drink lots of water, and chamomile tea with honey, watch my kids stay 6 feet away from me. My dog cuddled me everyday- he knows something is wrong with me. Bless his heart. 🥺 My hubby’s birthday was on Monday and all I did was sleep and he bought himself a birthday cake. We were supposed to fly to Philly and New York for 2 weeks but we had to reschedule which means he misses his friend’s wedding. SIGH. I feel awful. He did reschedule the trip for November though so we shall try again and at least the kids will see the changing leaves – they have never experienced Autumn.

My covid week was filled with LOTS of sleeping, a runny nose, a slight headache due to sinus congestion, and coughing – not a lot of coughing but enough to get some phlegm out. I also managed to binge Stranger Things 4 – but I did sleep a lot. Now my hubby has covid and I’m taking care of the kids and got to cleaning the house, which made me feel lots better.
